Fire Fighting Sectional Committee, BDC 22

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution (BIS) on 31 May 1984,
after the draft finalized by the Fire Fighting Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineering
Division Council.
Helmet is one of the most important items of personal protective equipment used by workers for protection against
head injuries which may be caused by falling objects in many industires, for example, mining, tunnelling, quarrying,
ship building, construction projects and similar occupations. Head injuries caused by falling objects are usually
serious and sometimes fatal. This standard has been prepared for industrial safety helmets capable of providing
adequate protection from falling objects and other hazards commonly met with in many industries. This standard
was first published in 1964 and revised in 1975. This second revision has been prepared so as to include all the
amendments issued so far besides relaxing number of achoring points of cradle from eight to minimum four so that
latest designs could also be covered in the revised version besides including the provision of ventilation holes.
In formulating this standard, the Sectional Committee has taken special care to avoid unnecessary restriction in
the design of safety helmets. If any special hazards, such as chemicals, oils, are likely to be encountered, the
requirements of standard should be supplemented by special requirements to afford protection against such hazards.

(see IS 7692 : 1975 Specification for wooden
headform for testing of helmets) corresponding to the
size of headband marked on the helmet, in a position
similar to that which it would occupy on a mans head.
Apply a load of 10 kg, to the top of the helmet (this can
be conveniently applied by using a 10 kg bag of sand).
Measure the clearance by means of a rod of diameter
not more than 10 mm inserted through the hole drilled
in the vertical axis of the headform.

of 2 000 V (rev/s) at 50 Hz and of approximately sine
wave form, for one minute between electrodes placed in
the solution inside and outside the helmet respectively. If
no electrical breakdown occurs, disconnect the high
voltage supply and connect a milliammeter in the circuit
on each side of the electrode. Raise the test voltage slowly
observing the ammeter reading, until the applied voltage
is 2 000 V. An automatic tripping device may be used in
